Not q DefaIcation.

New YORK, January 22.-Stories in
regard to the alleged defalcation of
Hooking Valley securities were in cir
culation again to-day, but seem to have
little foundation. The facts, as far as
can be learned, are as follows: The
company had 50, 0Oo, 600 on joint bonds
of the Columbus, Hooking Valley and
Toledo and the Columbus Coal and
Iron Company; during the long strike
the road ran in debt over 81 100000,
which the directors advanced, they Dor
rowing money ON their individual re-
sponsibility and accepting the com
panies' notes as security; the joint
bonds held in the treasury were unsal-
able and they could do nothing with
them, and they were issued to secure
the notes. and the directors received
them and returned the notes, which
were then cancelled. ~

ton of the mob was not to free
the criminals. but TO lynch them. The
sherif3's party returned from their

the murderers were carried to the bank

LOVE KNOWS.

How can lover plan and work
From early dawn to late at night;

And still his heart be sweet and lightf
Because towards some fair, dear girl
His soul in fond affection flows;
And so, how labor may be rest,
Love knows! Love knows
How can maid with beauty crown'd
Heed not, though lovers round her throng
And sit and muse with her own heart,
Far happier than in dance or songf
Because some weIl-oved youth
Her deepest, dearest nature draws;
And so, how solitude is sweet,
Love lznowsi Love knows
How can a mother keep a watch
Through tireless days of patient loves
With hands unweary in the work,
And heart still lifted up above?
Because some little one has need,
The mother-love still fonder glows;
And how her WEAKNESS is strength,
Love knowsl Love knowsi
How can a father still forgive
An erring son, again, again?
Believe in every fresh regret,
And find some sweetness IN his patnf
What is this miracle of strength
From patient fatherhood that flows
Towards the erring prodigalf
Love knows! Love knowsi
So many secrets hath the heart;
So much to do; so much to bear;
And every heart the question solves
OF its own duty, its own care.
Here wisdom may be ignorance,
And justice wrong affections cause;
But how to win where all else fails,

inc it above his brothers head, let IL
fall A dull crash told that the sleep
er's head was crushed to atoms. After
a moment a stream of blood crept from
beneath the stone. No sooner did the
murderer see that red current run,
bathing the rocks, than, like another
Cain, he began to rush frenzied from
place to place, tearing his locks and
beating his head against the powders.
Finally, desperate, he turned to the
Chapel of Our Lady of the Silversmiths,
and there he wept very torrent OF
tears, calling on his Maker to show
him mercy. You see, the poor devil,
notwithstanding the course of Justice
was not very prompt then on Mexican
soil, feared to find himself uncomforta-
bly, well fitted by halter.l Well, he
wept and cried, striking his sinful head
against the steps of the altar, and called
upon the Lord to pardon and save him,
aceursed criminal as he was. In the
midst of his lamentations he felt soft
touch upon the shoulder, and turning
his head:
"'Oh, my brotherr he cried; have
pity! If thou art a shade, if thou hast
come hither from another world, have
pity and forgive me?
What kind of trick do you call
that, demanded the other, 'to 60 away
and leave the beast and load unmatched
and me alone and sleepingP

he experienced a slight pain beneath
the touch. But, my brother explain
this thing
"'Oh! / am q sinner, vile and ac-

pentance, and He has restored thee to
life. Let us pray
THE two brothers fell upon their
knees, and prayed long and devoutly.
| Going later to the scene of the murder,
they found there the stone still covered
with fresh blood"
When his recital had reached this
point, my friend said, seeing me open
my eyes wide: Come in, and you may
see the stone" And on going in, in
fact, / saw and touched, in one corner

his head, cast it down around his neck, and then
